.@TurkishAirlines you have a serious data privacy concern on your web app. When booking flights I get someone else’s personal information showing up

@VicVijayakumar is it any good?

@ropesandhopes @studiokoto @Airtasker Hey Damien 👋 it was an interesting challenge to get it planned and out in time. But everyone pulled together and did a great job 😃

@zogface @GergelyOrosz Because there is no such thing as massive hype and overblown budgets and bankrupt people in the construction world? 😅

Is there a Google Play equivalent of https://t.co/SLISgEiU7j

.@Amplitude_HQ why are API keys+secrets 1-1 with projects and only resettable by Amplitude employees? If customer keys were potentially at risk it could mean hours/days of unnecessary mitigation time to coordinate

@levelsio Trick is to ask a different member of staff. In the public sector especially.

I find most small biz are disincentivised to actually provide an easy experience. E.g. Not accepting credit cards or even any electric payments is the norm. This is because providers still screw them

@a_remote_dev @SergioRocks Why is spillover a negative? Sprints are a tool to consciously prioritise and break work down into more bite sized chunks. Isn’t discovery of new factors and changes along the way and embracing and incorporating them into future plans the definition of working in an agile way?

How is part of the US reversing time to the 1970s, taking back women’s rights for abortion.

This is a fundamental right in the modern world… many US states soon to not be part of that group.

Shocking, sad, incomprehensible.

It’s going to be awkward when a non-male is the longest serving parliamentarian in Australian and they get the title “Father of the Parliament” #auspol

[Niko Roberts 🌈🚀 @NikoRoberts]

@hamen @sasa_sekulic @GergelyOrosz That’s a pretty archaic requirement 😳 As an employee you can’t sign anything to waive that “right”?

@david_erald @SergioRocks @GergelyOrosz @sama Random buzzword generator would likely capitalise the buzzwords properly 😅

Is there a decent bank in Portugal yet? As far as I can tell they haven’t improved
